Instructions
Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan with a removable rim. In a bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, pecan flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a small bowl, mix egg yolks, maple syrup, pecan oil, and brandy.
Pour into flour mixture; stir to combine.
In a large bowl, with a mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue to beat until glossy, about 2 minutes. Stir a quarter of the egg-white mixture into yolk mixture.
Scrape into remaining egg-white mixture and fold in gently.
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in a 350 oven until cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center, 30 to 35 minutes.
Transfer in pan to a rack and let cool about 1 hour.
Cut cake in half horizontally and place bottom layer on a cake plate.
Spread half the maple-cream cheese frosting on bottom layer; top with remaining layer.
Spread remaining frosting over top (leave sides bare).
Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
